PEREIRA-RESQUIN-GALVAN, Osvaldo Gabriel; PEREZ-SABIDO, María  e  ASPAS-REQUENA, Marina. Odontogenic abscess difficult to manage as a form of presentation of oral myiasis caused by domestic fly. Rev Pediatr Aten Primaria [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.92, pp.405-408.  Epub 13-Mar-2023. ISSN 1139-7632.

Odontogenic abscesses are a frequent reason for consultation in pediatrics, and their main cause is dental caries, due to poor oral hygiene. However, in cases of refractoriness to antibiotic treatment or worsening of the symptoms, other entities should be considered, among which is oral myiasis. This pathology, although it is anecdotal in our environment, must be known in order to establish early treatment, which consists of total removal of the larvae, broad-spectrum antibiotic prophylaxis and, in the case of deep or extensive myiasis, ivermectin. We present the case of a myiasis in the oral cavity caused by Musca domestica (Muscidae family).
